The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Tokyo, in cooperation with the Japan Overseas Investment Agency (JOI) and the Lithuanian Embassy in Tokyo, organized an annual seminar promoting the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) on 18 April 2024. By combining political and economic power of the 13 Central and Eastern European nations, the 3SI aims to significantly improve their energy, transport and digital connectivity, while enhancing the region’s significance in the EU and globally. Since Japan has just become the strategic partner of the Initiative, this year the seminar’s theme focused on discussing new investment opportunities for Japanese companies. Following the opening remarks by H.E. Mr. Pawel Milewski, Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to Japan, H.E. Dr. Aurelijus Zykas, Ambassador of the Republic of Lithuania to Japan and H.E. Mr. Jean-Eric Paquet, Ambassador of the European Union to Japan, the participants had a chance to learn about the possibilities of business cooperation during the expert panel.

The seminar served as a platform for discussion on this year’s 3SI Summit and Business Forum, which took place in Vilnius on 11 April. The event also aimed at providing more information on potential areas of engagement within the 3SI framework as Japan’s interest in the Initiative is constantly growing. The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Tokyo hopes to intensify activities promoting the Initiative, especially in the context of the 3SI anniversary event planned in Poland in 2025.
